I was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. I moved to New Zealand in 2016, shortly after graduating from University. I spent some time moving around the north island, gaining experience working in a large, top-tier law firm in Auckland, and then enjoying the slower pace of the Waikato in a mid-sized firm in Hamilton.
Along the way I have been fortunate enough to meet some incredible lawyers turned mentors, who have inspired me to continue pursuing new heights in my legal career.
I have recently returned to the workforce following two close rounds of parental leave. I am now eager to find a role where I will have access to high profile and complex property transactions, as well as the opportunity to work with like-minded colleagues who continually strive for excellence in their work and beyond.
As part of the Property team, I regularly advised clients in residential and commercial sale and purchase transactions, refinancing transactions and leases. My ability to quickly build rapport with clients, and pay attention to their individual needs, allowed me to deliver successful outcomes whilst working under tight timeframes.
Worked on several master-planned residential property development projects, which combined will eventually deliver up to 2,500 new homes in the Waikato. Consequentially I have gained extensive experience in the subdivision process, from acquisition right through to sell-down.
Built expertise in Unit Title and Body Corporate Issues, advising on the sale and purchase of unit titles, redevelopments, cancellation matters, governance related queries and maintenance problems. Worked with developers, owners, managers and various government bodies in this space.
This role offered a lot of diversity. I also took on work advising on commercial contracts, sale and purchase of farms, resource management issues, the Overseas Investment Act, and asset planning matters.
*NB: During this role, I was on Parental Leave for the following periods (Oct 2018 - Aug 2019) & (Mar 2020 - Feb 2021).
